Financial Stability
The safety and security of customer funds administered by a futures brokerage firm is important and efutures.com follows the requirements of the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulations to ensure that our customers' funds are segregated from efutures.com's own operating funds.
This means that efutures.com accounts for customer funds are kept separate and we may not combine customers' funds with the company's assets.
Our Safety Measures to Protect Our Customers
- Customer funds are kept in separate customer accounts.
- Each bank signs its acknowledgment that segregated assets may only be used for the customer that owns them.
- efutures.com may only invest segregated assets in U.S. guaranteed funds or other allowed instruments, such as U.S. Treasury securities, municipal securities, government sponsored agency securities, certificates of deposit, or money market mutual funds.
- efutures.com keeps an account of customer segregated funds and assets in real-time.
- The total amount of customer segregated funds and assets deposited in segregated accounts are calculated at the end of each business day.
- As required by the CFTC, efutures.com does not commingle funds of customers trading on U.S. Exchanges with funds of customers trading on non-U.S. Exchanges.
- efutures.com also calculates the secured amount sufficient to cover current obligations to customers, the excess or deficiency of the segregated funds, and invests sufficient funds to maintain liquidity at all times.
